Gift is an acronym: it stands for Graduality, Individuality, Flexibility and Tone , the basic principles of a diet that really works, the ideal weight loss diet.

Today I focus on the Gift diet , a diet developed by doctors Luca and Attilio Speciani .
Attilio Speciani in particular is one of the most important immunologists we have in Italy, famous for his protocol for food inflammation, with the recaller test , a system that allows us to understand how sensitive a person is to certain foods and how to overcome the problem. .

Of course, the Gift diet does not look great with this winking name , but the principles on which this diet is based are principles that we also find in other diets, and that basically everyone agrees.

In fact, the diet is not based on a daily calorie ceiling , but on how to make the metabolism work well to burn the right one thanks to the choice and combination of foods.

For this to happen  , the Gift diet focuses on certain mechanisms (signals) that would act on the metabolism , allowing us to lose excess fat (and not simply weight: if I empty myself of liquids or lean mass, I am not really losing weight) by eating according to quantities that we want and for which we feel full.

These signals can be hormonal or of some metabolites, and in a healthy body, they allow us to eat right without gaining weight, that is, they function as self-regulation.
In short, the body does its own if we learn to give it the right cues, but apart from this we also need to know how to regulate ourselves to make sure that these signals work well.

But what does the Gift diet consist of?
There is no menu to observe that is the same for everyone, although on page three you will find one, but only rules. Ten rules and three cardinal principles .

The 3 key principles of the Gift diet are:
activate the metabolism
keep insulin under control by choosing foods with a low glycemic and insulin index
eat foods that nourish us and not empty calories .
